Vevo Gets More YouTube Love Prior To Tonight’s Launch

Later tonight, Vevo, the "Hulu for music videos," being launched by YouTube and several of the record labels, is set to go live. But there's already some Vevo content appearing on YouTube itself right now.

As you can see on this page, YouTube has an account fo EminemVEVO. It appears this is a way to cross promote for the new service. Not only is the video branded with the Vevo logo (which we've seen previously), but the page its on features links to visit Vevo (which currently points to the Vevo Blog), as well as the artists' areas on the site. There are many of these YouTube/Vevo pages popping up, here's Toby Keith's, for example.

Vevo inked a deal with EMI the other day to make Warner the last remaining major label holdout for the project. Warner does have an agreement with YouTube to host its music videos there, but the other labels have all agreed to eventually move their content from YouTube over to Vevo (though oddly, they’ll still be hosted by YouTube, which they’ll get paid for). These videos will still be served up for free, but will be supported by advertising in a way that’s expected to be similar to the Hulu model (which itself could change next year).

Already, users on YouTube are seeing these heavy Vevo promotions and getting annoyed.

Update: And here’s the main channel.

Lindsay Lohan Breakup Confirmed by Lohan, Locksmith, Police [Gossip Roundup]

Farewell, last season's Suri Cruise fashions. Goodbye, Amy Winehouse's bathing suit. Adieu, humanoid version of Lauren Conrad. And so long, LiLo and SamRon's fairytale romance. Lindsay Lohan confirmed her split with Samantha Ronson and insisted the decision was part of a very healthy and mature effort to " focus on myself ." Upon hearing this, Ronson changed her locks and discussed a restraining order with police, so confident was she in Lohan's ability to turn productively inward. Lohan promptly had a run-in with the police . Who would have imagined such a messy breakup for this model relationship? Courtney Love's lawyer, on her client's drug-fueled plunge into broke-ness: ""Courtney noticed the money was gone when there wasn't any left."
